ISL 2019 | Amey Ranawade joins FC Goa on one-year deal

The full-back started playing football at his school, Father Agnel’s in Vashi, Mumbai. Ranawade was then selected for the All India Football Federation’s Elite Academy in Goa. He has represented India across multiple age groups, including the Under-17’s and Under-20’s.

Ranawade spoke of his delight at returning to FC Goa. “One of the big reasons for me returning to the club was that I was familiar with the surroundings. I was treated very well when I previously spent a season here.

“The aim this year for me will be to win the title, after reaching the semi-final with FC Goa in the fourth season of the ISL,” he added.

Director of Football Ravi Puskur also spoke of his delight at Ranawade’s signing. “We are happy to welcome a familiar face back to the club. Ranawade spent a year at the club and we are aware of his qualities. He brings with him the experience of playing as an Indian youth international and we are sure he will increase competition for places in the starting eleven.”
